Do We Need This Sacrifice?

Davao Death Squad

Almost one year ago, I don’t really know the exact date, there were reports in the local tv news about students in Ma-a National High School doing pot sessions. A month later, one of my students got shot one midnight in NHA Ma-a. A bullet put a hole on his head and he died almost instantly. Most residents believe it was the work of the DDS (Davao Death Squad). Days later, we were assisting students believed to be in DDS’ hitlist to flee for safety. There were 4 or 5 of them I think.

After the incident, students are more aware about the danger of taking drugs. The danger I am talking about is to become the target of the DDS. The funny thing though is that NHA Ma-a, the place where it happened, still got plenty of people walking around the blocks or in sari sari store for a midnight drinking spree. People know they are safe when you’re not a criminal.

Those people end up dead, is it necessary? I feel so much safer everywhere I go in Davao because I know there are less criminals. Criminals are already dead. I don’t know but I don’t want drug addicts roaming the streets. I don’t want killings too. The best thing is if you are a criminal, just stay away from Davao City because its unsafe for you and if leaving is not an option, then I suggest you abide the law, get an education and find a decent job. Davao City is booming so its really not that difficult.

“I live in a city controlled by fear.” – Words from Clarita, the mother of three DDS victims. I don’t want to be harsh but I believe that the mother is to be blamed. For criminals, yes Davao is a city controlled by fear. And they should be weary if they are in Davao. But Davao is heaven for those who are law abiders and upright.

I blamed the mother and the parents of these killed criminals because of their irresponsibility towards their kids. How can one claim of a good parenthood if their kids are out in the streets selling drugs or doing petty crimes? These parents knew about it, yet they have done nothing to fix it?

I also find the report as a one sided view. It literally gave sympathy towards the CRIMINALS’ side. How about the average citizens who have been victims of these criminals? The human rights are so active protecting the rights of these criminals, but why havent they done something towards the common and upright citizens of Davao? Where are the human right activist when someone is stabbed or robbed in Davao? Why are they mum about these issues but loud when it comes to criminals?

I always believe in the phrase ” YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE”. Those dead people are criminals, drug pushers, and were menace to the society. Through their ways, they have been attracting death long ago. They get what they deserve. Amd to the other criminals – YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW!

PS.

By the way, i find it irritating when these americans do a documentary about Davao or any other cities in the country. They keep on showing a squatter’s area scene…Hey americans, Davao is not all like that! We are a progressive city far from what these guys are projecting!

hello!!! sir!!! your exactly right!!!
That we must avoid taking drugs because it may be a result of our death.We must be serious first to our studies,because it is the only way to have or to commit success in the future.We, the students of these genera tion must be the molder of virtue!!right???????
We must also focus on our studies s0 that someday or time will come we will never be belong to the people they call on “CRIMINALS”…Keep it up Sir!!!!!!

Your exactly right sir!!…davao death squad is now roaming around davao city…so we should be careful..many people of today’s generation is very addict in that kind of drugs…but that is not the right way of punishing CRIMINALS.there is justice who can make a way…these children lack’s of parental guidance by their parents that’s why they were involved in this kind of activity and immaturity…….My advice to the teenagers you can do whatever you want except in this kind of activity……….you can still enjoy your life without drugs………

i think there are so many ways of punishing some criminals. and i dont consider killing as one of those. they should be punished according to the sins they committed. i also think that the parents lacks the guidance, discipline and the education to their children. thus, many teenagers are involved in some anti social activities which leads them to the wrong way of life. …….. so my advice to those teenagers who were engaged to those activities .. you still have the chance to change your self just trust in god !!!!!……….

good afternoon sir!!!!!it was a very good article!as i was reading the information it made me realized that we must aware in our everyday living. those criminals are just pests as they said. they could be not totally stop but at least the authority do their best. for those teenagers who were engaged now in this kind of activities,there must be a second chance….thats all i can say and keep up the GOOD WORKS!!!!!

I agree for what you have said, because if you are a criminal, it is good for you na mag palayo sa Davao City. Because if you are a criminal you are unsafe here in Davao City because of the DDS (Davao Death Squad).

Hello sir! for me they should changes their bad activities especially in taking drugs. so that they have a good future and have a peaceful world… and so that davao city will be free in drugs addiction… and so that people in this city will not be afraid roaming around especially in the night… and no one will not be die because of taking drugs or doing bad things..

Hi sir, ok lagi kau, bitaw sir noh lots kau crime happen sa davao and tpos scared pud mag stay sa davao,cause if you are making a crime in this city you not safe.And I think our Mayor making that kind of punishment because he want to disipline people living in the davao city but in that way that is wrong.Diba sir kailangan natin mahalin ang kapwa natin tao sapagkat we are here in this world to live happily ever after not to kill anytime.And we need to give a chance to those people making wrong because nobody is perfect.And if he/she making a crime na kuyaw na kaayo,pwde naman natin siya parusahan pero hindi patayin, in the good way.

hello sir!!!!Mztah??yeah you’re right sir that nowadays we are not safe to go out, because of that criminals.But I think its not right to kill them in a violent way.I think they should be send to jail.Because we did not know someday they have a chance to change their life and start something new.And us, teenagers we should avoid that drugs.Because Dr. Jose Rizal said “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.Keep up the good work sir andits a good article.!!!!

It is true that because of the killings our city bacame safe but it also causrd the loss of hopes and life of youth. Those youth had alot of time to change and correct their mistakes but because of thr killings, try lost their future. Those youth could have been the hope of our country, if they were able to change.

sir you know, sa tingin ko po hindi naman sila dapat patayin kailangan pong bigyan pa sila ng chance, pero pag wala talagang paraan sa ganitong krimen, ang nakakataas na po ang mag desisyon.
Ito po lamang ang masabi ko. I think its not right to kill them in a violent way.I think they should be send to jail.Because we did not know someday they have a chance to change their life and start something new.And us, teenagers we should avoid that drugs.Because Dr. Jose Rizal said “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.Keep up the good work sir andits a good article.!!!!

gud eve sir!! i really like your article, it really helps a lot of students who are involve of this thing. and it really make them wonder that doing those things are not gonna help to solve their problems… it also help the people in the other country to know and understand what’s happening in davao city. i’m not favor of DDS. i know thet they are only doing their jobs and protecting the civilian. they dont have the right to kill people because only GOD can judge…. but i’m proud of you sir!! i must say that “YOUR THE BEST AMONG THE REST” keep up the good and beautiful work!!!! sir sorry kung mahaba masyado..

.,..!!awtz@@shockzzszssz.,..sir.,the best way to live in this world is to live what is being told. I mean the rules of bible,just live accordingly on what is written.I am not a fan of DDS though they serve as our guards from criminals. Instead of killing those people who violated the law why don’t give the a chance,God will judge you of what you have done not just by people that will kill you by time to time.Davao is the “Best” to live. Sir,thanks for creating blogs that Davao safer than anywhere.Good Luck.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIR,its so much nice but due to my intellectual humility,it only consists of immorality upbringing. its inspired those teenager that go out during night season.Its true that using drugs will make one’s life in danger. that’s all thank you….

elow sir!!!Your article is so nice especially for us youth!!!!eventhough we commit crimes we should have the chance to change…yah,,DDS is one of the solutions to have less criminals here in davao,,but killing them is not a nice way…God created us so he is the one who knows the best for us!!!!thats all…keep up the good works sir!!!dont stop writing articles that can inspire people!!!

hi sir…
yeah sir your right.. Many teenagers now are taking drugs. Some say because of curiousity about it. Thats why many lives of teenagers had been destroyed. For me sir, we should not try those things because it cant help us. Specially if you lived here in davao city, you should be careful because as you said sir ther are DDS here that are killing those drug addicts. Whether they are teenagers or not, no exemptoin as long as your a drug addict, or a criminal.So, even if we are not doimg those such thing, but still we should be careful. Tsaka sir dapat noh hindi sila pumapaty ng tao because god knows what the right thing to do to them.. hehehehehe chaka keu,
basta sir i really like your article..
Galing mo sir hehe Keep up the good work..

Once again sir!good day to you.
For me sir!only I can I say to your article is:
It is so beautiful and so impressive to all the people who would like to read this.
The article you had made sir!tells about”USING DRUGS”and this kind of situation is not easy to face.We all know that some of our youth is taking a drug.Taking drugs is not a problem because it can cure are sickness but this drugs,they use it in a wrong way so this is not good to our mental, emotional,physical and etc. health.I think some of the drug users thinking about also themselves to make their lives good and innocent.But it is in the people to make their lives good or beautiful.
And also sir!we already know that killing people is a sin and committing big mistakes is also a sin.
So this are all sir! because nothing is get inside to my comment brain………………but if I have something to add about this article sir don’t worry ‘coz I will send you next time…

IMO! Those drug users really need to be killed! Why? because they are some kind of freak or Virus! And most of all they KILL (inosent) people! thats why Duterte! had hired a killer of drug users! and they are called (DDS) they are the Davao Death Squad! wiw they are really something! and the most interesting part is that they are just practicing in the High Way of NHA MAA… thats why i dont wanna sniff some drugs! because! they Will burry me ALIVE IN THE CEMETERY!!!! SCARY! T_T!

hi there! i and my partner are writing a reasearch paper about this group..and we proposed that this group is just a myth. dont you think????hehehehhe
according sa among profesor who’s also an Attorney—
“wla pay nadakpan na DDS member sukad 1998”
“ang mga tao lng ang nagHatag sa term na DDS, dili jud mismo ang grupo.”
“wla pay nag-amin in PUBLIC na sila DDS, unlike sa al qaeda, magpavideo dayon kung naay plano or nabuhat na daotan”
hmmmm..whatever name it is, still it is human violence and should be ceased!
mao lng..pray for us sa aming defense!
